Went to B&N today and contemplated buying the book, but started reading it in the store and like you, while I agreed with a lot of the points, felt many of the other points were flawed. Maybe you should call Claire Shipman and give her your perspective as I think yours may be more realistic. :) (Both she and her husband work flexibly currently) From Jacquie on Facebook:

It's often hard to make the right decisions between being a good mom and being successful in one's career. Especially with the last anecdote about the preschoolers' party, its so important to focus on what's really important rather than trying to please and impress others. As a mother of teenagers I am still learning how to do that. This sounds like an interesting read.

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 19:31:44 +0000 http://www.careerlifeconnection.com/blog/?p=518#comment-405 Thank you for this perspective. I am eager to read this book, even more so after reading your post and agreeing with the counter-arguments you make. As someone in Gen Y (27-years old is Gen Y?) who does not have children, I consider myself a strong advocate of work-life balance...for everyone. In response to your We can have it all comments - I usually say "We can have it all...and we often want too much (or more than we need)." Having it all doesn't have to be an issue if you understand personal limits! Your points are well taken. Thank you for this perspective.
